: Gas Station To Offer 'Terror-Free' Oil
: February Grand Opening Planned

: OMAHA, Neb. -- Area drivers will soon be able to fill up with
gasoline
: made from "terror-free oil."
:
: KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near 129th
: and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer
: consumers petroleum products from countries that do not sponsor
: terror.
:
: The gas station is associated with the Terror-Free Oil Initiative.
The
: group's objective is to encourage Americans to buy gasoline that
: originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism. A
: representative said that Omaha's will be the first of several
: terror-free oil gas stations to open across the country.
:
: "The terror-free oil initiative is dedicated to encouraging Americans
: to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export or
: finance terrorism," according to the group's Web site.
:
: Chris Decker, professor of economics with the University of
: Nebraska-Omaha, said the idea may make for good marketing.
:
: "From a business perspective, it's kind of a neat way to
differentiate
: yourself from the competition. To me, that sounds an awful lot like
: what we in environmental economics refer to as eco-labeling. Like,
: when you purchase a can of tuna with a symbol that there was no harm
: to dolphins to catch the tuna," Decker said.
:
: Will drivers make a special trip? Mary Ann Buscher said the station
: got her attention, with its bright red, white and blue advertising,
: but she isn't sure when or if she'll stop there.
:
: "I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, probably. No, I wouldn't,"
: she said.
:
: The grand opening is Feb. 12.
:
: Survey says.
:
: Would you buy your gasoline from a station that receives its
inventory
: from countries that don't sponsor terrorism?

wouldn't that rule out buying any petroleum products from USA or UK
companies?
or is "Shock and Awe" in some way different from terrorism?

According to DemocraticUnderground.com
(see http://www.democraticunderground.com.../31_shock.html )
"They can call it "Shock And Awe" if they want; but - by the Pentagon's
own admission - we've already got a name for this kind of thing, and it
is
'terrorism.' "

The definition for "shock and awe" follows:
"The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National Defense
University. It's called 'Shock and Awe' and it focuses on the
psychological destruction of the enemy's will to fight rather than the
physical destruction of his military forces."

The definition for terrorism follows:
"defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or
threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property
to
coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve
political,
religious, or ideological objectives."

I can't see much difference.

So can netkkopping be considered a form of terrorism?

I am not sure about that.. try reposting your post.. 21 times in a row..
seperate post.. all saying the same thing... and we can sit back.. and wait
to see if the netkkkops
get you toss'd.. make sure you add a the same website in each post.. and
change the subject line.. so it says the same thing only with a slight twist
... make it appear to be spam...
.... and I will sit back.. and see what happens..
Only then.. will I be able to give you my opinion on this subject.
